Our speech has mindboggling power. With only our words, we can bring about peace or dissent. We can calm fears or stir them up. We have the ability to share the love of God or to pass on our own anger and frustration. This power is a gift, but it is also a burden we must bear with caution. What we say can be used to bring new believers into the community of God. But we also have the power to divide our communities and waste this precious gift of speech. Let God guide your speech today and see what His words can do through you.
